Amazing!!!! I have been a lover of chocolate since I have been a kid. In fact if you know me well you know that I love chocolate and fish as my two favorite foods. Yeah right a little extreme but I go crazy for my chocolate! Mayana Chocolate is a chocolate lover's dream. One bite and you will close your eyes and say... Ahhh, I received The Space Bar, Coconut Dream bar, and the Kitchen Sink Bar (Just love that name!...loaded with yummy peanut butter, pretzel, etc) Perfect for a personal indulge of for company gift giving!

I love doing research as a backyard farmer. I did a little study on Ketchup

and was surprised to find that some ketchup was more of a spice than a ketchup simply because it didn't have enough vegetables in it. I also looked into the pain staking task of making my own ketchup - May be fun to try but way too much work - it's not cheaper or practical. Here is the beauty of True Made Foods Ketchup it is Loaded with veggies and that's what we want! This is a wonderful ketchup - The other products as Well the BBQ sauce and the Veracha are delicious and loaded with the goodness of vegetables. You can definitely tell the difference in the taste - a complete YUM! We gave this product a 5 out of 5. We did receive this product for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

Two old spinsters are written into a will by their wealthy father on the grounds they never marry! Florence and Lorraine live together for years and then it happens Florence wedding announcements go out only to have the Bride die the next morning through a asthma attack. On the scene come Rabbi Kappelmacher (This is a Rabbi Kappelmacher Mystery). You will relish with delight with this one, a real thinker. Just when you think you have it solved something else will happen! Adding to the mix is a former rabbi gone lawyer. You will be pondering this to the end when just about that time you will say no that person did it, no it was that one, wait it was .. and then the ahh haa moment when it all comes together. Take your time figuring out the clues it's a real fun twist and turns but it was there all along! Loved it! A must read for all who love cozy mysteries!

As food critics are to culinary delights at times readers find themselves indulged in literary bliss... this is how this book will make you feel with each pen stroke and each story. Jacob M. Appel is one of those authors that once you read one of his books you automatically fall in love with his work. A work of many stories - that will draw you into the moment. I related this to my love of Alfred Hitcock. Each story was thought provoking and one that won't be forgotten. A wide range of stories that can be enjoyed in one reading or as tiny morsels of delight to be cherished. LOVED IT! We did receive this book for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

Physical workouts means lots of hydration and Body Armor does just that with natural flavors and sweeteners, electrolytes , coconut water, and vitamins. Body Armour gives you a nice boost when you are giving your body a workout. Clay and I were sent a nice selection of Body Armor to try for this review the flavor was great and it did give us the boost we needed while we were busily working around our farm. They say that garden work is like a 6 hour workout so those of us that are committed to working the land as well as going to the gym and just running around on a day to day basis have learned to take good care of ourselves and to make sure that we get the hydration we need as in order to get the job done and not quit we have to carefully program our body and time for success and Body Armor is a lifesaver for all that are physically super active!

To order yours go to https://www.snugglemeorganic.com/shop-organic-cosleep-infant-lounger

I enjoyed reviewing this product and doing my research with for this. Snuggle Me Organic is a baby lounger that you can place your baby in your bed and it is a nice time to snuggle. What is nice about this is that the baby has baby's little own space as you snuggle and coo with your little one. I would not fall asleep with your baby in the lounger but rather use this lounger as a spot to cuddle with your baby and play . Made very well with cushiony sides with no cushion in the middle.

I am a pretty techie and active person. I hate it when my earbud wires get in the way or fall to out etc. Loving the flex sport budstraps especially since I am always on the go. I just pop in my earbuds attach my budstraps and I am good to go about my business for the day between laundry, dishes, up and down on my farm I get a work out daily plus when I work on my computer or even take a nap these are wonderful. I also like that they are easily washed with soap and water those of us who are used to hard work outs can appreciate this. I had no problem with the size and I also liked that they are light and airy! A small but necessary item for all of us who like to stay plugged into the internet as I am pretty much online 24/7 doing something :) Like and share this post to spread the word.

When I wake up in the morning the one thing I always do is grab something immediately to eat. I have low blood sugar and I just can't wait forever to make breakfast and go through a big ordeal. I also can't stomach something that tastes nasty that early. Pure Growth Organics is not only tasty but good for me.

Kosher

made in the USA

low fat

organic

They sent us a really nice selections of bars and they are all delicious! Oatmeal raisin, chocolate banana, and cinnamon brown sugar. I loved all of them. I also used them for snacking bars such my schedule is so crazy it was easy to grab one and perfect for packing in lunches. I think you will love the flavor of these I know these are good for me but I must admit my favorite part of these bars was the flavor!

I must wash my hands at least 15-20x's a day. Let's see Laundry, dishes, garbage and all that means DRY SCALY HANDS. The good news is now I can be a princess everytime by using Soft Soap with lotion. Added lotion to our favorite hand soap- Soft Soap Plus , means soft pretty hands for me. My husband is always borrowing lotion from me for his dry hands so this makes it nice for the men too plus any children! We were also sent for this review some cookie mix which we enjoyed baking while washing our hands in the process of making the cookies. The cookies came out great as well as the hands! The Soft soap sent to us were the Orchid and Coconut milk, Aloe and Lime and Shea and Cocoa Butter. I couldn't chose a favorite.. Why? I loved them all!

Discount code The code is:FIVE4GIGIS and it's good for $5 OFF a 24 12-oz can case of Aspire

Clay and I both have been working hard to shed those extra pounds. When I heard about Aspire I thought Wow! This sounds like a soda to lose weight! Further research showed why this would be perfect for working on my weight and health. As a backyard farmer we do a lot of research on foods to grow, and health benefits, health, animal care etc. so when I saw green tea, ginger, cranberries, and other good things I knew they were on track. We received a two week supply of Aspire to get us started. One ingredient used in the product is L-carnitine that reduces fat mass, increases muscle mass and reduces fatigue also ginger which is better than most motion sickness drugs, vitamin C and B 12 good for the skin etc. Adding the bubbles is definite plus for me as I personally found that good too for upset stomachs.

We spend money on all kinds of fun things but when it comes to our health we tend to put it on the back burner- One nice thing about Aspire is that it is easily obtained by the case, etc.. A worthy investment to get yourself back in shape after the Holidays (you will hear more about this below !),Now let's get into the taste. It definitely had a wonderful flavor. The cranberry was my favorite. And speaking of cranberries many people drink cranberry juice for urinary health. The flavor was fresh and Perky- I have been complaining of being really tired lately and it was fun when people who sub to us on youtube sent me messages about this- as jokes were prevailing about my 4 hour naps! (Most likely from the weight gain and the LONG winter here in the NorthEast) If you are a subby to us on youtube http://www.youtube.com/Poplebackyardfarm you will enjoy my perkiness after getting some Aspire and will be cheering me on to get back to good health! All in all we give this a 5 out of 5 stars. You really must go to their site (listed above... got you guys traveling all over here today :) and read all the good things this product truly is a god-sent , health benefits, deals, and a challenge are all listed there after reading this review it would be a disservice if I didn't lead you there as there is so much wonderful information I think you are going to be really pleased as we were. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your weightloss group and friends (feel free to print it off!) share on fb, twitter, yadda, :).

Clay was so excited about reviewing this kit It was all I could do to hold him back from digging in too soon -- but we did the research and we have the kit started! You will see the progress of the kit on our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/Poplebackyardfarm which we will begin posting about this- this week. With that let's get started and I will tell you what has happened so far. The mushrooms in this kit are Oyster Mushrooms - They look like Oysters thus the name. They are edible so we plan on doing some cooking with these. The kit is easy peezy - you open the box soak it in water overnight and in 10 days you get delicious mushrooms to serve your family. Mushroom growing is a bit tricky and you will definitely want to use a kit as they do all the work for you and it's so much more fun. Some people do use the kit to continuously grow mushrooms there is a alternate use, but you will get a lot of mushrooms with the kit so unless you have the time to dedicate you will want to just buy a few kits vs sterilizing purchasing containers, straw, sawdust, etc. the kit does all the work for you. So for now the review is super super easy, they do all the work for you - in 10 days you will get mushrooms and enjoy! Like/share this with your friends and let's all grow some food this season! I have a link above if you want to grow mushrooms too :) We did receive the kit for review purposes and no monies were exchanged. :)

I love the feeling of a good fresh clean face. Cremo has some fine products and I enjoyed reviewing the face wash and moisturizer. Their products are made in the USA and that is a big plus with me. I loved how the face wash smelled and felt. I noticed immediately that my face was really clean and the cleanser was gentle on my face. The Cremo Moisturizer felt nice and creamy and smoothed on my face easily. It wasn't greasy and gave me the hydration I needed. It is a 24 hour moisturizer so I didn't have to reapply it at night although after washing my face I decided to give it another go for the night as I loved the way it made my face feel.

While most kids went to be with the sound of sweet music my brothers and I would fall asleep to the sound of the presses rolling. My Dad owned a printing company for 30 years. Hammermill paper filled our shops. Paper was ordered by the truck and it was neat to see the progression of the printing industry from Big presses, small presses to copiers and now a little of everything. Hammermill was always the paper of choice for my Dad's business which went around the world. I loved reviewing the copier paper for the purpose of this review. I myself attended school for offset-lithography (printing) to join the family business and so I know a good paper when I see it. Hammermill is great for your business uses as well as for personal copiers.Copy comes out crisp and nice. Professional work for home use and personal copiers is a must as more and more families run a business , blog, etc. Use the paper that has been tried and proven and recognized by professionals! I love Hammermill paper I know I always have the competitive edge when handing out flyers, resumes etc. I received this product for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

We received the Banz infant and children defenders for review. A great way to keep little ones ears protected with all the noise damage that surrounds us in our modern times. I personally wear ear protection all the time and even go to bed with them on in order to keep my ears warm. I snore really loud.. I mean really really LOUD so my husband also wears ear protection. It sounds so funny, here Clay and I are sleeping in bed both of us wearing head gear but it is great because it protects our ears and also keeps us from hearing all the day to day noises but we can hear noise which is why Banz are wonderful for your little ones they will protect them from LOUD noises yet they can still hear if you take them to a gun range, concert, etc... I personally wouldn't recommend them for everyday or sleeping for children but rather for outings as this is the purpose of these. I tried on the infant ones and laughed because they are for babies but I could actually test them and they worked great protection plus I could still hear. We did receive ours for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

Succulents are all the rage! Every time I talk plants with my friends everyone always starts talking about succulents. The Succulent Source is the perfect spot to pick up your collection. I was sent a beautiful variety of succulents to review. Everything came healthy and secure in little pots ready to just pop in decorative pots or leave them like them in the original pots. I loved the collection they are beautiful. Perfect for gift giving too for the plant lover in your life. I received these for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

When I am bopping around working on our little backyard farm sometimes I just want to grab a quick snack to give me energy until the next meal. The Farmer's Pantry snacks are tasty and healthy. The cornbread crisps were really tasty. What was unique with this company were the meal snacks. Getting real meat in a snack was a nice treat especially when protein is so needed for those of us who are working hard everyday. A must for anyone who is on the go!

It may not be Spring in New York but you can add a little spring to your life by wearing ActiEssence fragrances. We received several for review and I was happy to discover that my husband loved all the scents. I laughed as we both had to spray all the scents as they ALL smelled so good. Perfect for gift giving or for everyday use. What a wonderful gift too for that special person for Valentine's Day! My favorite was the Citrus Grove.

This is a neat product that I feel will become common place in every home it is the Twilight solar light. It is a pop up quick solar light! Perfect for the car, camper, power outages, for those of us who have little farms great for walking out to the barn early in the morning - or even to put in the chicken coop to help your chickens lay more eggs :) Place the cube in the window to charge and it gives 6 hours of daylight. It folds flat so it can be easily stuck in purses or a man's backpocket! This is one of the smartest inventions I have seen and makes perfect sense for today's busy world! We decided to put this in our emergency car pack - but it will be hard not to sneak it out for reading in the car on trips and more! We did receive ours for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

We planted a few peach trees on our property a few years ago and are in hopes of getting some beautiful peaches this year. It was a pleasure to read The Georgia Peach by William Thomas Okie. This is certainly a gem for farmers and readers to add to their collection of books. Great information on the peach, growing, etc .. history and science meet together here as we learn of the peach and the changes throughout history including labor concerns one of their greatest needs. This will be a book you will read over and over and should be on ever farmer's bookstand. I did receive this book for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

My husband went to chef's school and it's been wonderful for me because he has taught me a lot of cooking tricks. One thing I have learned is the joy of introducing different ingredients to my family's menus. Mary's Secret Ingredients Subscription Box service is a easy way to add that extra special to your family's menus. I received the winter box filled with yummy delights. mint tea, jam, berries and even a state of the art cake cutter that makes serving cake a snap! The box was packed full of goodies! We gave this box a 5 out of 5 in our Best Products Reviews! We did receive this product for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

To order yours go to https://www.bbolder.com/I do a lot of active work and hate it when my hair is falling into my face. The Bolder Band is perfect for busy active girls and guys. One of the features I loved was that it could be slimmer or fatter depending on how I wanted to wear it. Comfortable and doesn't slip off! I received mine for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

When I get hungry for a snack it is either salt or sweet. I was thrilled to discover a bag of Pipcorn Truffles Mini Popcorn that was sent to me. It is glutten free made with whole grain and in small batches. Loved the flavor just enough salt with a splash of pepper. You know how you get a bag of a snack and it is 1/2 full it was great to have the bag full to the top! Really delicous!

I am 54 and to be honest I have seen many miracles in my lifetime. I remember my Dad gathering our family around the table with the news that my mom had ovarian cancer. You can image how how that would be to hear as a child. The good news is Daddy taught us all to pray and the doctor came back with a good report! Another miracle happened the day my mother came home from the doctor in 1962 with the news that they were going to schedule her to have the baby removed as I had died. My parents had a friend Joel Darby who had his church pray for them when they went back to the doctor the evidence after testing came back.. You are going to have a normal baby. Once I went to a church.. and the pastor did a neat thing he said I want all of you to stand who have had a near death situation where you should have died, then he did if you had a sickness you were healed from he went through his list and at the end everyone was standing! God still works miracles today and I believe it! But the greatest miracle of all Benny Hinn shares in the book The Greatest Miracle - This is a wonderful Book! You will love it to order yours go to https://www.bennyhinn.org/

Once January hits boom.. I am start to go into Spring Cleaning mode. Every drawer, every item in my home gets evaluated do you stay or do you go? Perfect timing for me to do a review for Mabel's Labels. They sent me a ton of labels to work with and they were pleasant to work with. I had them make labels with my name , my blog and Pople Farm. Mabel's labels are pretty too! I immediately began labeling everything! - Travel stuff water bottles, tagging backpacks and suitcases, craft bags, boxes for storage.. sticking underneath items cellphones, I pads, etc.. We travel more than we have on youtube and I always have "stuff" as I can't see sitting in the car for hours and not getting something done! Plus of course I had to stick of few of these sweeties in my Journals (getting a collection of them now) . All said loving these labels! Many many to choose from if your a mom - perfect for labeling shoes, backpacking.etc Great for men for fishing, hunting, and all that .. the uses are endless!

I like my teeth to look sparkling white. Oil pulling to keep your teeth nice helps with dry mouth, bacteria, keeps your teeth white etc.. Coconut Swish makes this super easy. Here is how this works You swish Coconut Oil Swish in your mouth and then spit it out. Check out the video above. I liked this product so easy to use and if you are like me and like to keep a fresh mouth you will love this. I brush my teeth afterwards and it I noticed that it makes my whole mouth feel much cleaner. You can also do this in the shower to help save time as that is also where I do a lot of things while getting ready for the day.

I don't know about you but I hate it when I get stuck for hours and hours standing in the same spot. It can really do a number on your feet. Sitpack is the answer! It slips in your pocket or backpack and it takes about a minute to pull out and extend and ahhhh... sit! I tried out this product after running around and doing housework and it really did feel great on the legs! I started thinking about the things that Moms and bloggers, farmers etc..run into that this would be useful for .. Auctions.. sometimes you get stuck outside the tent, bus stops, long waits in lines, working outside for hours putting up fencing .. you will be surprised if you stop and think .. I even thought I wonder if I could use this when doing dishes? Pick up a few for your family :) I did receive this product for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

My feet get sooooo cold in the winter. My whole body can be cold and if I get my feet toasty it makes me warm all over. I love Heat Holders The warmest thermal socks. They come in many beautiful colors and men and women can both use them. You can even use these babies for slippers as they are so think and soft and may I add snuggly! It's like having a big fuzzy bear hug all day long! Really if you are having a trouble with cold feet pick up some of these worth every penny and will be a life changer. Also good for camping out, ice fishing, camping, snow sports and more! These always make our best product list and we highly recommend these - 5 stars out of 5 for these. We received these for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

I remember growing up with Shrinky Dinks - Lots of good quality fun for kids. Here is how these work . Your children can color design Bake and put them together then put together jewelry which comes with a necklace, bracelet and even earrings, etc. if you choose the 3D Flower Jewerly or decorate their room if you choose the Butterfly lights which comes with lights, etc.. Both kits come with coloring tools to design. I liked how thought out these kits were and that they were good clean fun for little girls. I also liked that after the kits were completed something useful was made so that your little girl can have their creation for years to come :) We gave this product a 5 out of 5
